funny yum update messages today

[Tom Horsley]

A little before Sat Aug 29 09:56:19 EDT 2009 I ran

   yum --skip_broken update

and got a few funny messages during the update process:

It scrolled off my terminal history, but the kernel update (for
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.31-0.190.rc8.fc12) printed something like:

get_net_message No such file or directory

The rest of the messages were captured intact:

The selinux honking may be because I have selinux disabled.
